APRN is the acronym for Advanced Practice Registered Nurse. The acronym APRN is being used more and more by legislative and governing bodies to describe the collection of registered nurses (RNs) that practice in the extended role or practice beyond the normal role of basic registered nursing. The APRN needs special education beyond the four-year baccalaureate degree in nursing. In fact, most APRNs need a master’s degree. The APRN role not only encompasses additional education, but also is a role requiring extra responsibility, critical thinking and judgment. The APRN in South Carolina must hold a national certification in his/her area of expertise.

If you are an APRN, be sure you are signed up! Send an e-mail to rosie@scnurses.org and let her know you want to be included.
